Answer:

B. Taper Integration.

Explanation:

This is a form of partial integration as it is not a vertical integration.

Generally, tapered integration always allows you to preserve the threat of manufacturing key items yourself without full commitment to the process. You only manufacture a part of the total components needed and outsource the rest. If your internal manufacturing operation can be easily expanded, you'll put more teeth in any threats made toward uncooperative suppliers.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Explanation:

The most important reason for organizations to rely on research is that it ultimately provides the organization with insight on how a specific decision will perform in the target market and what effects it will have on the company. This is because research provides valuable information such as a target population's interests, hobbies, spending behaviors, needs, likes/dislikes, etc. All of which are factors that help determine if that population will buy a certain product and increase the organizations revenue.
